Yeah it's hard to overstate how much clearer and well defined the Canadian immigration system is.
I did all my paperwork myself to go from student visa to work permit to residency and finally citizenship. Incredibly simple, relatively cut and dry (assuming you can afford it and qualify to begin with of course)
I went to work in the US for a bit and have to hire folks in the US now. I needed lawyers to help with my application because I needed an O1 instead of a TN for lack of a degree (it's 12 years work experience or a bachelor's for a TN, and I only had 6 at the time). TN's can also be denied easily at the border, H1Bs are lottery based on many factors out of your control
And after all of that, each visa means different things when I travel, or if I ever want to apply for a green card etc... The US system is a nightmare to navigate.
Unfortunately I can't say a specific one just because they were a firm that represented my employer. The firm is a common one used by many tech companies though: https://www.fragomen.com/
